* Stage 6 - '''Packing and Shipping''': the cement is conveyed from grinding mills to silos where it is then packed in bags.

Not all cement kilns have the total 'end to end' process on site, with some sites producing the clinker for subsequent grinding, blending and packing at a different site. This might include, for example, the introduction of other materials, such as Blast Furnace Slag to produce a Blast Furnace Cement - a highly sulphate resistant cement that ~~can have up to~~ 65% granulated Blast Furnace Slag mixed with the clinker.
